The Road to Normalcy: Environment-Driven Evolutionary Pathways for Primordial Black Holes
Saiyang Zhang, Junehyoung Jeon, Boyuan Liu +2
We investigate how cosmological environment regulates the evolution of primordial black hole (PBH) seeds in the early universe using a suite of hydrodynamical simulations. Unlike t…
The Cliff: A Metal-Poor Little Red Dot Hosting an Overmassive Black Hole at
Lucy R. Ivey, Francesco D'Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino +18
JWST has revealed a large population of massive black holes (BHs) in the early Universe with unusual properties which mark them as distinct from low-redshift active galactic nuclei…
What is Powering the Enigmatic He II Emitter Hebe: The First Stars or Black Holes?
Junehyoung Jeon, Tae Bong Jeong, Saiyang Zhang +1
Recent high-resolution spectroscopy with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has confirmed the presence of a strong He II emitting clump in the vicinity of GN-z11,…
A Novel Formation Channel for Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in the Early Universe via Primordial Black Holes
Saiyang Zhang, Boyuan Liu, Volker Bromm
We present a novel formation channel for supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries in the early Universe, driven by primordial black holes (PBHs). Using high-resolution hydrodynamica…
BlackTHUNDER: Evidence of three massive black holes in a z~5 galaxy
Hannah Übler, Giovanni Mazzolari, Roberto Maiolino +41
We present observational evidence of three massive, accreting black holes (BHs) in the z=5.0167 galaxy J0148-4214 from JWST/NIRSpec-IFU spectroscopy. The BHs are revealed through b…
A direct black hole mass measurement in a Little Red Dot at the Epoch of Reionization
Ignas Juodžbalis, Cosimo Marconcini, Francesco D'Eugenio +37
Recent discoveries of faint active galactic nuclei (AGN) at the redshift frontier have revealed a plethora of broad \Halpha emitters with optically red continua, named Little Red D…
A black hole in a near-pristine galaxy 700 million years after the Big Bang
Roberto Maiolino, Hannah Uebler, Francesco D'Eugenio +36
The recent discovery of a large number of massive black holes within the first two billion years after the Big Bang, as well as their peculiar properties, have been largely unexpec…
How do Primordial Black Holes change the Halo Mass Function and Structure?
Saiyang Zhang, Volker Bromm, Boyuan Liu
We examine the effects of massive primordial black holes (PBHs) on cosmic structure formation, employing both a semi-analytical approach and cosmological simulations. Our simulatio…
Distinguishing the impact and signature of black holes from different origins in early cosmic history
Saiyang Zhang, Boyuan Liu, Volker Bromm
We use semi-analytical models to study the effects of primordial black hole (PBH) accretion on the cosmic radiation background during the epoch of reionization (). We c…
